excitement of the rivalry with our only sister sorority, Phi Mu. Be-
cause of strict Pan-Hellenic rules we cannot do much rushing except
to be just as sisterly and nice as we can to the little freshies. But,
that is what counts most in the end, the making of true friendships
with the new girls.

Each sorority is allowed one big rushing party to which all the
freshman girls may be invited. We chose to give a Hallowe'en
party. On account of other college affairs we held our party a week
before Hallowe'en but we bribed the ghosts and goblins to come
then, and I am sure there w:as not one absent. We kept the girls bob-
bing for apples, biting flour pies, and jumping over candlesticks un-
til they could be taken to the Den of Destiny, where only a few were
taken at a time, and from which few returned in a wholly calm and
cool condition. Our Den was in the cellar, and as we went down-
stairs we felt the cobwebs brush our cheeks. (When we took down
the decorations we found they were simply harmless threads). As
we reached the floor a horrible shrieking and wailing came to our
ears, as a ghost glided toward us and led us to view the remains of
Timothy Titcomb. We felt his shiny eye (a skinned grape), his ear,
his hip-bone, his leg, and his false teeth. Poor Timothy!

In our jolly days, as in our working days, we miss our newly
graduated alumnas. Christmas week Alice and June came back to
visit us, and Helen was here just before we went home. Tony
we have with us always, and we wish she could always stay. Peggy
Flint has brought us a big brother by marrying Lester Jacobs, and
going away off to Pennsylvania.

There have been happy days, but there were sad days, when our
sister Asenath left us. She was sick so short a time we scarcely re-
alized that she had gone, but we realize now as we miss the faithful
face at our chapter table. Girls, we must love each other all we can
now, for we do not know how long we can be together.
